COMFORTABLE
SKI BOOTS
NO
YOUR SKI BOOTS SHOULD NOT BE …
HEAVY
Poorly suited
Each foot is unique, yet the ski boots offer few options to adapt to your morphology.
Uncomfortable
Weight, plastic shells with poorly placed rigidity, constrained movements, lack of ventilation … Nothing is done for skiing to be only pleasure.
PERFORMANCE AND SUFFERING
NO LONGER MAKE THE PAIR!
THE FIRST SKI BOOT
COMFORTABLE, MODULAR
AND ECO-CONCEIVED

regained
Evolution and Nature remain the best engineers, you might as well imitate them!
COMFORTABLE!
Thanks to its setting systems and the absence of a plastic shell experience the experience of a tailor-made ski boot. Your ski boot is lighter and breathable but without compromising on thermal insulation and waterproofing.
The comfort of use is finally at the service of technical performance!
eco conception
Skiing should never be a guilty pleasure!
Zufo adventure, from idea to product
The ski boot is an object that transmits the efforts between the body and the ski. In the case of force transmission, the ski boot must be treated as a mechanical object. As research progresses, intuition turns into conviction.
After several months of research and three patents filed, the zUFO concept was born, the first modular and eco-designed ski boot, without rigid shell or hook.

AN AMBITION GUIDED BY STRONG VALUES
As made by parabolic skis with straight skis, we believe that exoskeletons will replace the rigid shells of current ski boots. Thanks to its patented Zufo technology will be a key player in the next replacement of the ski boot market. An ambitious vision that responds to values that are dear to us:
Conviction & Humility
Yes we dispute the standard of the last 50 years but we do it in all humility, by agreeing to deceive ourselves and by correcting our mistakes every day.
Rationality & simplicity
Our approach is scientific, rational, with results from a rigorous analysis. Our philosophy: simple solutions to complex problems.
Innovation & Eco-Conception
Starting from a white sheet, our project was born eco-designed. An innovative modular eco-design which was also awarded by ADEME in 2023.
Collaboration & territory
We have the will to produce locally to energize the territories and make knowledge shine to make French industries.
“At ZUFO, we believe that every technical problem has a solution.
Skiing has seen a lot of innovations for equipment (clothes, masks, helmets, skis…), but one thing has not changed in 50 years: shoes with rigid plastic shell and hooks that offer unsatisfactory comfort.”
